Examining the imaginative and compelling way in which fashion has permeated 21st century culture, this book considers the relationship between fashion on the catwalk and architecture, interiors and products. Many fashion designers extend their aesthetic into interiors and products for the home as a natural progression from clothing the body.

The home is now subject to the same directional trends as fashion, in part because so many designers are extending their practice to include interiors, as well as products and accessories. The fusion between fashion and interiors has never been more relevant. The proliferation of ideas, the speed of manufacture, and an increasingly visually literate consumer, have all resulted in interiors being subject to the same desire for innovation, change and fashionability as fashion. This investigation of the hectic dissemination of trends takes the reader on an eclectic, adventurous excursion into living with fashion.

Cox Architects is world-renowned for many aspects of its work, not the least of which has been extending an Australian architectural ethos beyond houses and into large-scale projects such as the Yulara Tourist Resort in Uluru. It is also recognised for creating dramatic and sculptural buildings in steel such as the Brisbane and Sydney Exhibition Centres, the Olympic Aquatic Centre and Superdome, and the Australian National Maritime Museum. In concentrating on work produced in the last five years, this publication profiles and explores the much broader idiom in which Cox Architects practices. The book is divided into two sections, the first comprising a series of essays on the nature of different project types and the second describing recent and current projects, putting philosophy into practice. While the projects have been selected for their diversity of problem solving, client requirements, context and scale, they reveal some constant passions for enriching the city and landscape, for harnessing new technologies, and for imparting environmental sensitivity and cultural relevance to the built environment.

The first book from acclaimed Brooklyn-based interior designer Kathryn Scott, whose handcrafted interiors evoke a sense of serenity, harmony, and simplicity.

Kathryn Scott is a designer whose disciplined eye results in interiors praised for their beauty and minimalism, as well as their artisanal details. Through ten residences, bookended by Scott’s own acclaimed five-story, nineteenth-century Italianate brownstone in Brooklyn Heights and her ravishing country house, the book explores the idea of home as sanctuary, a place to rest, replenish, and refocus.

From a Parisian-inspired neoclassical town house, to an elegant Central Park West penthouse, to a modern retreat in the Hudson Valley, the houses profiled here showcase the importance of architectural detailing, the classical rules of proportion, and the importance of integrating beautiful materials and finishes in uncommon ways. Interwoven with the stories of the houses are explorations of the themes found in Scott’s work. This book is a celebration of simplicity, beautiful detailing, and unexpected materials and styles.

Once the bastion of the haute bourgeoisie, the town house has now been embraced by families with young children, single urban professionals, and retired couples, all looking for more comfortable city or suburban living. Architect Alexander Gorlin explores a spectacular array of diverse town house designs (often referred to by different terms in different parts of the country) that carry this familiar symbol of architectural innovation and refinement into the twenty-first century.

Creating the New American Town House features cutting-edge town houses that each draw from architectural tradition while achieving originality by both breaking from and adhering to the limitations of the town house form. Within the typical five-story frame and two parallel walls presented here are ingenious and exquisite and, above all, extremely livable design solutions to the constraints of this classic housing type.

Ranging from sites in New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC, each of the buildings featured in Creating the New American Town House represents an eloquent contribution to the form and is designed by such celebrated architects as Steven Ehrlich, Hugh Newell Jacobson, Stanley Saitowitz, and 1100 Architect.

Each project is extensively illustrated with full-color photography that showcases the interior design as well as plans and drawings. Alexander Gorlin’s insightful text continues the discourse begun in his The New American Town House, surveying the adaptation of this beloved urban dwelling to the demands of a new century.

As time rolls on, neoclassical style becomes more and more popular. Except for pure neoclassical style elements are applied to décor, more and more other style elements come into mix of use with neoclassical style. Of course, this phenomenon is not accidental. It has undergone a long process of evolution, opening and development.

During the developing process, neoclassical style keeps its original essence yet never stops changing. Combining the current trend of neoclassical style’s diverse mixing with other styles, we choose 6 the most obvious types in this book, which are integrations of neoclassical style with European style, American style, Mediterranean style, Art Deco style, Chinese style and post-modern style. Each of them features various characters and sparkles, from which, you can find out its key point, use of materials, approaches, stuffs that need to pay attention to and many materials specially applied to neoclassical style design.
